TNT 2.0: Episode 79 with Brian Cunningham - AWARENESS QUOTIENT

Today we welcome Brian Cunningham… On his journey from Parking Lot
Attendant to CEO, Brian has studied the leadership experience at
every level within a complex organization. As a life-long student
of leadership and an explorer of numerous paths of expanded
awareness, Brian has sought to discover the deeper possibilities
and foundational drivers of extra-ordinary leadership
service.

A key component of his purpose is to actively contribute to the
revolution in leadership understanding and practice. This has led
to the authoring of two books on the foundations of exceptional
leadership and the development of the AQ (Awareness Quotient) Model
of leadership development.




In this episode we cover a lot of ground...


- AWARENESS quotient is about foundational drivers for
exceptional leadership


- In life…I noticed myself asking “There’s got to be something
more.” and this led to my exploration


- My goal has been to serve whomever is in front of me in any way
and every way that I needed to


- Awareness quotient model consists of 4 pieces:


o Internal environment and awareness


o External environment


o Integration: internal and external environments together. The
dance of humanity!


o Clarify – use focus and attention on purpose for how we see and
experience the world


- Development progression is a part of everyone’s life
experience. Crawl then walk then run. Use this developmental
progression for AQ as well!


- AQ – observe your internal environment; expand this awareness,
your feelings, thoughts, beliefs, biases, values.
